Yep Trudeau put out a statement hours ago. Not seen anything from Trump, except childish complaints about the news.

Sorry not on the ball this morning, up all night with I'll toddler. Anything Canada I try to keep an eye on as we're in Alaska.

Good news:

ACLU is likely to file a lawsuit in coming days to overturn Trump's entire exec order:
This would go beyond the lawsuit filed this weekend. It would seek to get entire exec order overturned as unconstitutional:

The issue is that many politicians say they will reduce regulations for small businesses. It rarely comes to anything. Under this regime it could mean though massive changes

Bannon is trying to get Trump to cause terrorists to strike, so he can crack down on liberties. I have an MA in this. It’s not hard to see.

The Secretary of Homeland Security found out that the Muslim ban executive order was being signed by watching TV.

Roussette · 30/01/2017 15:10

Trump gets all his news and views from TV apparently.

I think he's rattled... his last tweet was pretty pathetic - more so than usual for him. I just think the outrage of all that he is doing is building, he's being called out left right and centre.

Roussette · 30/01/2017 15:13

By the way, where is that snake Pence in all of this? Is he still alive.... I've seen him stood behind the fat orange one when he's signed a couple of EO's but he is remarkably quiet. Perhaps there's a power struggle... Kushner/Bannon/Pence

GrouchyKiwi · 30/01/2017 15:17

According to CNBC:

BREAKING: Trump to sign exec. order this morning requiring that for every 1 new regulation, 2 regulations have to be revoked - sr.

Nutty.

cozietoesie · 30/01/2017 15:18

Waiting, Roussette. Waiting.

GingerIvy · 30/01/2017 15:18

Pence has been busy deleting Tweets from last year where he said a muslim ban would be offensive and unconstitutional. Grin

Kushner and Bannon are busy plotting WW3, I presume, along with Flynn.

GingerIvy · 30/01/2017 15:19

Ivanka is probably dressed to the nines, with her children all turned out properly, tossing bits of cake out to the "poor underprivileged protesters" from the WH lawn. Grin

Gingerivy You asked upthread about the Ivan's comment. I'm not an expert (Jewish heritage but not religious. Trefe I think means not kosher. So a restaurant that doesn't keep a kosher kitchen (more complicated than just avoiding pork/ shellfish). There are obviously different levels of observance. Reform Jewish tend to be more relaxed about the many potential rules you could follow. Orthodox implies more observant (although there are degrees of that). Some rules Orthodox women have similarities with Islam e.g. Modesty. Some Orthodox women won't show their hair but wil wear a (often beautifully coiffed) wig rather than a headscarf. I think the tweet is implying her conversion is not heartfelt.
